How a Business Line of Credit Works

Think of a business line of credit like a credit card with better rates and higher limits. You're approved for a maximum amount — say $200,000 — and you can draw from that amount whenever you need it. You only pay interest on the amount you've drawn, not the full limit.

As you repay what you've borrowed, that amount becomes available again. This revolving structure means you always have access to capital without reapplying. Most lines renew annually, giving your business a reliable financial safety net.

Line of Credit vs. Term Loan

Flexibility: A line of credit lets you draw and repay as needed. A term loan gives you a lump sum with fixed payments.
Interest: With a line, you only pay interest on what you use. With a term loan, you pay interest on the full amount from day one.
Best For: Lines of credit are ideal for ongoing or unpredictable needs. Term loans are better for one-time large purchases.
Reusability: A line revolves — repay and draw again. A term loan is one-and-done.
